I was watching a youtube video and the used the words "flies" and "defender" in the same sentence, which i found amusing. He did quickly follow it up with " i got it up to 70mph" so the car flying is very much relative!
Just out of curiosity, how fast does your defender get to 30-40mph? Do you need an exceptional safe distance before pulling out at junctions and slip roads or are you confident that you wont cause an accident when you pull out!
This is my first defender and i've always known they are on the sluggish side on a good day and that performance can drop due to inevitable mechanical issues. When i bought the car the guy had another defender that was a couple years newer but still a 2.4 tdci, i took that for a comparison drive and his one was more sluggish than the one he was selling! The car is currently in the shop for a full once over and later in the year im going to take it to stage 2 so that has enough horsepower to move around the brick s**thouse!
